Not all heroes wear capes. Some just carry boxes of pizza. That's the lesson one Amtrak passenger learned earlier this week when his train stalled on its route from Boston to Washington, D.C., due to a mechanical issue. After waiting more than an hour for the train to start moving again, Mitch Katz called up a nearby pizza restaurant, Dom's NY Style Pizzeria in Wilmington, DE, to order a pie. The employees pulled through, as shown in this video Katz tweeted.

That's 18-year pizza delivery veteran, Jim Leary, walking alongside the tracks. When Leary's coworker first received the call, he asked, "Can we deliver to a stuck train?" According to The Washington Post, Leary replied, "Oh yeah. We can do it."

Though, apparently the old adage is true: No good deed goes unpunished. The delivery guy was admonished by Chelsea Kopta, and Amtrak spokeswoman, who wrote in an email to The Washington Post, "We know train delays can be frustrating, but it is extremely dangerous to approach a train on the tracks. We are glad no one was hurt and hope this is not tried again in the future."
